Jōdo-ji Temple's Amitabha Hall, built in 1345 (Important Cultural Property)
The hall was destroyed by fire in 1325, but was rebuilt in 1345. Before the fire, the hall served as the main hall. The hall enshrines the Amitabha Triad Statues, also known as the Amitabha Sanzon Zō. This set consists of a seated statue of Amitabha (also known as Amida Buddha), a standing statue of Avalokiteshvara (also known as Kannon), and a standing statue of Mahasthamaprapta (also known as Seishi).
